On this day in 1962 Johnny Carson took over The Tonight Show and remained the host for 29 years. Who is your favorite late night talk show host of all-time?

Mine was David Letterman, but only the Dave that followed Carson on NBC, not the crusty, snarky, political Dave of his later CBS years. The early Dave was innovative and the anti-talk show type at the time (although he admits he just more or less copied Steve Allen). The guest really didn't matter, you tuned in to see the silliness.

Having said that I do miss the old school format and celebrity schmooze of Johnny Carson. He was one of a kind.
